*I can add a table to my gui by this code:
mytable = uitable;
set(mytable,'Data',magic(10))
set(mytable,'ColumnWidth',{25})

*Or i can add a table by dragging table icon from left frame in GUIDE Layout editor.

But when i add a table with Layout editor, i can't access to it from m file, because i don't know how to manipulate like
set(mytable,'Data',magic(10))

because i don't know the name of the table, it is not "mytable".
Can you help me please?

Drag the table into your figure, then right click on it and select "Property Inspector". Change the "tag" field to whatever you want the table to be called.

I tried that but It didn't worked.

Tag name of the table is uitable2

when i give command as
set(uitable2,'Data',magic(10))

the error is "??? Undefined function or variable 'uitable2'."

Can you make an example please

no, it will be called handles.uitable2. That's how the tags work.

set(handles.uitable2,'Data',magic(10))

Where are you trying this?
Did you remember to update the handles?

Normally, if you created (and saved) a uitable in GUIDE, assuming you
changed the tag to 'uitable2', you should be able to access the
information in this uitable through its handles properies:
set(handles.uitable2,'Data',magic(10));

For example, I have this code in a checkbox7 callback. My uitable's
tag is uitable1:

checkbox = get(handles.checkbox7,'Value');
if checkbox
set(handles.uitable1,'Data',rand(3,2)*10)
else
set(handles.uitable1,'Data',zeros(size(get
(handles.uitable1,'Data'))))
end

Are you saying that this still doesn't work?
If so: where are you putting this code?
Are you trying to run the GUI and then trying to set the data through
the matlab command prompt?

Where are you putting this command? I just created a GUI in GUIDE with a table, and set its CreateFcn to the following:

  function uitable1_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
  % hObject handle to uitable1 (see GCBO)
  % eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
  % handles empty - handles not created until after all CreateFcns called
  set(hObject,'Data',magic(10));

This worked correctly for me.
